One busy lady have I been... Since July... Well, in August my horse went to the horse trainer, or maybe it was in July? Anyway, he was trained, again, and the trainer was so stoked about how well he was doing he wanted to take him to a show in Reno. So we took him to the show at the end of August and he ribboned in 3 of his 4 classes. I was proud ( Read more... )

Today we went blackberry picking for the first time this summer. We bought a pie from Michelle made with blackberries she picked but it's not the same. So I have a blackberry cobbler in the oven as I write. I can't wait. Rachel picked some herself for the first time.

Now we're really living on a ranch ( Read more... )

RACHEL IS NOW WALKING!!! As of today I have a toddler on my hands! YAY!! More babyproofing of the house...

Yay! Rachel and I leave tomorrow! I'm about halfway packed and still have a ton of shit to do but I've decided to stay up all night. I don't want to try to get up at 2:30 in the morning like my moM is. I'd rather not sleep then only get a couple hours. Rachel's been keeping me up teething anyway so sleep depravation is no stranger to me. I have ( Read more... )

Rachel and I leave day after tomorrow! I'm so stoked. The past week has been crazy but we're still standing and ready to travel. Friday was moms group and I left Rachel's only bottle there.

It seems like all of a sudden Rachel seems like she's a year old. I mean she won't be until Sunday of course but now that she's gotten those two top teeth out she is working on walking again.
